I'm looking for help on how to wire this into my layout.
Do I need an auto reversing module?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a better diagram with one solution I took from internetDIAMOND REVERSE 3.any

No, there is no loop as you've drawn it now. You can tick 'Reverse loops' on the SHOW tab to make AnyRail indicate reverse loops.

If using DCC, you will need auto-reverse.

Don't isolated the X-ing. Instead, isolate the tracks thru X between the switches (red + blue in image below).

You basically have an outer oval and 2 reverse sections.

Unless I missed something and am horribly wrong.  :o

When I isolated the inner rails they were the "+" rails only. Isn't that the same as what you suggested just closer to the "X" to allow sensing prior to "X" ?

Thx

David,
If you complete the oval on each side (figure 8 option) there are 2 reverse sections, yes ?
